Abstract excerpt
Ten male patients with familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCHL) were studied with regard to LDL metabolism and composition. The FCHL patients had higher LDL levels than healthy controls (5.4 +/- 1.4 vs. 3.7 +/- 0.7 mmol l-1; P < 0.005) and a higher rate of production of the lipoprotein (15.8 +/- 3.1 mg kg-1 d-1 in FCHL vs. 13.1 +/- 1.8 mg kg-1 d-1 in the normals; P < 0.005). The fractional catabolic rate of LDL...
